Answer 1

After fixing a couple of small bugs, this works on my machine:

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

int main()
{
        std::string cmd;
        while( std::strcmp(cmd.c_str(),"exit")!=0
            && std::strcmp(cmd.c_str(),"\\exit")!=0)
        {
                std::cin>>cmd;
                std::cout<

However, I wonder why you want to use std::strcmp() at all. As you have just found out, it's not as easy to use as the std::string class. This

while(cmd!="exit" && cmd!="\\exit")

works just as well, is easier to understand, and thus easier to get right.
